I am making this thread to share a genre I like a lot and is currently not that well  known.

 

VaporWave is a new genre of music that focuses on 80´s and 90´s nostalgia and sampling of things like jazz , pop , muzak , jazz etc..

 

The tracks are usually slowed and pitched down and have sort of an ethereal and dream like feeling.

 

The genre in itself is not that well defined by its sound but mainly by its visual aesthetic, often including objects from the past (specifically the 80’s and 90’s graphic styled) video-game consoles, windows 98´s icons and desktop, as well as busts and columns with japanese letters and 80´s filters .

 

I will list some interesting tracks if you want to give a listen:
